Sunday, November 1 was the date for our book release party for Rich People Shop Here. Though the official publication date is January 15, books came a bit early and were available so we got 100 plus of our closest friends and family together and threw a shindig in a room that could barely hold 80.
It was an amazing day with people coming from as far away as Georgia and as close as two buildings over from the meeting room.
We sold all the books we had on hand and we’ve re-ordered. The early feedback on the book has been very encouraging.
Barbara Henricks, Book Publicist Extraordinaire, gave a moving speech about why the book matterered to her all those months ago when I was just sending along one chapter at a time to her.
I spoke briefly, mom spoke, and we both signed books for over an hour. Our Cave Henricks Communications friends sold books and were kind enough to man the desk and deliver those that had been pre-sold.
What a great day!!!! I suppose every author dreams of these kinds of days, but when they actually happen, they are better than one can imagine.
To all of you who attended, thank you, To those of you who could not attend, but were there in spirit, many thanks to you, too.
